It is always good to de clutter once in a while although it could be a time consuming task.

For me de-cluttering and clearing rooms is always like a new beginning and I always feel like being fresh and new.<br />One of my plans is also to stay away from bandwagons and challenges as much as I can. I just want to finish some of my WIPs and read a lot more books.<br />Your stitching shows two wonderful finishes - two great little birds. Great job, Penny!Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922122091202289138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110833484159040820.post-7483222811681233372017-01-12T07:10:53.015-05:002017-01-12T07:10:53.015-05:00so sorry you started the new year with appliance i...so sorry you started the new year with appliance issues. ugh. (but hopefully that's it for 2017!) your bird stitchery is beautiful - what do you do with the finished pieces?<br /><br />and finally - I had similar thoughts about The Goldfinch. I so wanted redemption for Theo!

What a way to have to start the new year--a dead furnace AND oven :( I always think (a bit selfishly!) of what I could have bought in stash when it comes to writing the checks for those unexpected expenses...<br /><br />I adore your two bird finishes--seems like you are on a bird theme along with reading The Nightingale. That is a huge book to get through so pat yourself on the back :)<br /><br />I'll be here reading no matter what your blog post is about!

We did manage to get by without a new furnace, just replacing a part. I hope your new one will last you many, many years.<br /><br />I've read the Goldfinch, or rather, I've listened to it. The audiobook is really excellent as the reader did a fantastic job of it. <br /><br />I love that Christmas Bird. I still love cross stitch even though I don't stitch any more. Brenda's designs always make me smile.<br /><br />Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073567534248514127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110833484159040820.post-49745893828849582092017-01-11T09:07:06.189-05:002017-01-11T09:07:06.189-05:00The Christmas Bird is really spectacular Penny!
